APPELLATION

Vipra Rossa

The name “Vipra” was inspired by Monaldeschi della Vipera, one of Orvieto’s historical noble families. Bigi Vipra Rossa has an aromatic bouquet of cherries and berries enhanced by hints of baking spices. The varietals are fermented separately in stainless steel, and a portion of the wine is then aged in French oak barrels for several months allowing the flavors to harmoniously blend together.

Packaged in a handsome bottle with an embossed viper on the front, this blend of Merlot, Sangiovese (with a small percentage of Montepulciano for extra power and intensity) offers easy sensations of ripe fruit and exotic spice. The low price makes it ever more attractive.
